Bluetooth probably won&#39;t get you the range or bandwidth you need. XBee might, and I think you could adapt it to USB to pull images off the G1 (or really any camera) directly.<div><br></div><div>What about just running a cable up the tether? If you need more length, you can run USB over cat5, thusly: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Usb-Dongles-for-USB-over-CAT5-connection">http://www.instructables.com/id/Usb-Dongles-for-USB-over-CAT5-connection</a>.</div>

<div></div>We could affix a G1 to a tethered balloon and have it relay images
wirelessly back to our ground station a-la webcam (something like this: <a href="http://phandroid.com/2009/06/23/qik-webcam-on-your-phone/" target="_blank">http://phandroid.com/2009/06/23/qik-webcam-on-your-phone/</a>).
Shouldn&#39;t be too difficult but would provide a cool view of the

proposal for a booth with a giant balloon tethered above it

Anybody interested and have time this week for planning a
Noisebridge<br>&gt;&gt; presence for Yuri&#39;s Night? Think of it as a practice
run for Maker<br>&gt;&gt; Faire. Placement needs working out, tethering for
the balloon, and<br>&gt;&gt; some specific ideas for what we want to do -
hoist a Mooninite on<br>&gt;&gt; federal property, drop LED throwies from on
high, set up monitors<br>&gt;&gt; relaying camera feeds from the balloon,
anything vaguely<br>&gt;&gt; Noisebridge-ish. But we&#39;d need a person or two
to start talking to the<br>&gt;&gt; organizers sooner rather than
later.<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Volunteers?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;
